As always your band choices are quite zany I see that you really like the Praying Mantis debut, but to call it the best NWOBHM of all is a bit far fetched even for you! Personally I feel that the Angel Witch debut is a couple of notches higher than the Praying Mantis one and ranks in the best top 10 NWOBHM albums ever, and whatever made you choose Trespass. Interestingly a lot of the stuff that you've said, I would've put into my reviews had I not reached my word count limit, for example you're spot on with the Praying Mantis and Asia type album covers, even though Asia would never have gone in for the b-movie floating skull.
